Too much multi-family converting to single family is no bueno, especially if these are not full time residences. Just looked at unit pictures, wow these are gorgeously cool. Only if more owners (developers) could hold on to the romance and not just say biggest steel and glass possible goes...

Not good for whom, exactly? Monkey talks and romance buys stale chocolate once a year hoping to get laid. What do you think this is, some kind of moralistic agrarian society with a high-degree of social cohesion predicated on time-tested traditions?

"... the current owner is 319 East Sixth Street, Inc., a corporate trust with a Wilmington, Del., address" - says it all right there. Not a single human being's name is attached, just one anonymous shell corporation after another. Why is this legal?!?

The steel and glass look is mainly because the steel provides superior support at a lower weight thereby allowing for bigger windows and more light in the interior, and you really do have to fight for every bit of natural light around here. A lot of the brick tenement buildings that may be gorgeous on the outside just aren't going to look nearly as good on the inside as the more modern construction. They also tend to have layouts that are absolutely bonkers, but that's another issue.

So, it's not that people don't care about how things look. To the contrary, they do. But, it is just that architects care more about what their clients will see from the inside as opposed to what randos with whom they have no dealings walking in the street will see.
